<h3>
Answer:</h3>
2000 atoms
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given the following;
Initial number of atoms of radium-226 as 8000 atoms
Time taken for the decay 3200 years
We are required to determine the number of atoms that will remain after 3200 years.
We need to know the half life of Radium
- Half life is the time taken by a radio active material to decay by half of its initial amount.
- Half life of Radium-226 is 1600 years
- Therefore, using the formula;
Remaining amount = Original amount × 0.5^n
where n is the number of half lives
n = 3200 years ÷ 1600 years
= 2
Therefore;
Remaining amount = 8000 atoms × 0.5^2
= 8000 × 0.25
= 2000 atoms
Thus, the number of radium-226 that will remain after 3200 years is 2000 atoms.

<h3>
Answer:</h3>
Chlorine gas (Cl₂)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- According to the Graham's law of diffusion, the diffusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density or molar mass.
- Therefore, a lighter gas will diffuse faster at a given temperature compared to a heavy gas.
- Consequently, the heavier a gas is then the denser it is and the slower it diffuses at a given temperature and vice versa.
In this case we are given gases, CI₂
, H₂,He and Ne.
- We are required to identify the gas that will diffuse at the slowest rate.
- In other words we are required to determine the heaviest gas.
Looking at the molar mass of the gases given;
Cl₂- 70.91 g/mol
H₂- 2.02 g/mol
He - 4.00 g/mol
Ne- 20.18 g/mol
Therefore, chlorine gas is the heaviest and thus will diffuse at the slowest rate among the choices given.
